Nearly a week after the difficult 1-0 win over Mighty Jets, goalkeeper Soulama Abdoulaye has disclosed that he expects more difficult games for Kotoko.

In the view of the Burkinabe, the Kotoko-Mighty Jets clash was just one of the many difficult encounters that Kotoko would be encountering and continued that none of the remaining 24 matches would be different from the sixth week game last week.

A determined Mighty Jets side gave Kotoko a good run for their money almost ending the game 0-0 but a perfect late minute header by Nafiu Idrissu gave Kotoko the match winner. Speaking in an interview on that match and other games to come, Soulama Abdoulaye told Kotoko Express that he expects the remaining matches to be tougher than what has been witnessed.

“Mighty Jets stretched us. We prepared well for them. They were difficult to beat. I know that we will have more difficult matches. We have to do our best to win” said the goalkeeper who has kept the post well in the six matches. “We do not have to think any game will be easy” he added.

“All the teams prepare very well for Kotoko. That is why I expect every game to be hard. We have to train harder, we have to work harder; more than our opponents to win” he argued. Soulama Abdoulaye further predicted that with hard work, Kotoko would stay on top of the league table before the Christmas break.

He also touched on his recent good. He revealed that he is enjoying his time in post. The 2007/2008 Best Goalkeeper surprisingly hinted leaving football soon. “I like the game. I like football. I have been training well; all of us train well. I am also thinking and planning of other things because very soon, I will be leaving football” said Soulama Abdoulaye.
